How to play PSX games on a PS2?

[DABhand]

1. PS2's check the outer ring of PSX discs for authentication so no it wont play backups. Unless your PS2 is chipped.

2. If chipped, CD-r is fine (80 mins of course)

3. There is a utility that makes iso files which are compatible with some PPF patches. Forgot what it was called, but megagames will probably have it.

4. Im sure it will work, unless the disc is heavily scratched etc.
